Re: Sowfest. Who went and what did you get?

They had some nice stuff this year.
And some odd stuff too.
They had tons of jerseys with high set numbers.
At first I passed on them because like everybody else I was looking for ones with low set numbers.
But then I went back and started to investigate the jerseys and found some very high set number jerseys with tons of use.
I picked up a Jake Peavy home jersey set 10 that showed use.
When I got home I was able to photomatch it with out a problem to a game in June.
I also picked up a 2005 Juan Uribe game used jersey.
I couldn't believe they would take out something that old out.

1998 Charlie O'Brien BP jersey (trade with hobby dealer set up at the event).

Also saw on the rack a 2010 road jersey of bullpen coach Juan Nieves that was a set 6.

I'm not good at doing the arrows and circle stuff but here are the pictures
You can easily see how the 4's line up perfectly.
The jersey is a set 8 not a 10 still pretty high. lol

Re: Sowfest. Who went and what did you get?

Did they have any game used baseballs? Anyone know if the sox sells them anywhere?

Re: Sowfest. Who went and what did you get?

They had a game used St Pats Manny jersey nice use at $1200 a un-used Black at 750 ( no year or set tags which is common on late season additions for the Sox) a GU hat at I believe $250..NO bats or batting helmet.

GU baseballs are always plentiful at $10.00 each and most have the mlb hologram

Re: Sowfest. Who went and what did you get?

Again, the White Sox garage sale crew allowed early access to a chosen favorite...this time it was a guy who has been affiliated in one manner or another since he was the team's batboy in 1983. He grouped a whole handful of items he wanted on one of the racks, then, as soon as the sale was opened to the non-privileged, grabbed the group and went to the register, making sure no "regular folks" got a chance at them.

Although overall, I feel Soxfest is far superior in most ways to the Cubs Convention, the team's practice of allowing early access to team employees, preferred dealers and people with press credentials in wearing a little thin.

Re: Sowfest. Who went and what did you get?

I picked up an Andruw Jones blonde B45, Gordon Beckham two tone Hickory and and Alex Rios black LS M9. Very happy with the Andruw Jones find...

Someone picked up a nice Omar Vizquel with great use.....beautiful bat.
